STEUBESvILLE, December 3.-The in.
terest in the grand K. of P. festival, to be
held, beginning on Wednesday evening,
the 14th inst, and closing Saturday even
ing, the 18th inst, appears to be getting
general, for 20 where you will you will
find some one taking an interest in the al
fair and endeavcring to help the enter
prise along. Bat this is not surprising,
for when you take a census OF the Knights,
their families and friends, you find that
they embrace agoOd portion Of the pOpula-
ton of Steubenville. The ladies are deep
" interested in the fair and festival, and
have committees appointed to attend 10
different matters necessary. On Friday
afternoon last a largely attended meeting
of ladies was held in Castle Hall, when
everything necessary to be yet done was
divided up and the proper parties dele
gated for each branch. The men are
not idle, and when the fair
opens it will be found that
their portion of the preliminary work
was not neglected. The proceeds will be
devoted to the furnishing OF the ucw X of
! P. hall. on the corner of Fourth and Wash
ington streets, and as it is intended TO be
the finest in the country, and thus make a
reputation for the city wherever Pythian-
ism is known, it is but right and just that
all citizens should lend q helping hand 70
the Knights TO assist them in their under
taking.
